Chemistry/Science Tutor in Lehigh Valley Area

I have more than 8 years of tutoring experience in chemistry/basic science at the college level. I can help with methods to study for test, work on course material, and develop a deeper understanding of the course material. I currently work in the chemical industry which helps me apply the material the student is learning to real-life research and development of products. I recieved my PhD in physical chemistry from Penn State University and tutored my entire time there.
I try to use real world applications related to the student's area of interest to make the material stick in the student's head rather than the ineffective method of brute memorization.

My comments on tutoring GRE : Scored in 98th percentile on Verbal portion

I began teaching at eighteen. I’d just graduated high school and wasn’t ready for college, so I worked as a personal trainer at a gym within jogging distance of my house. I worked with clients one-on-one helping structure their workouts to their needs, and while I may be stretching it to equate teaching with providing pointers on proper form or advising on ways to augment a stagnant routine, but I think that gap year spent in the gym was when my proclivity for teaching first became incipient. Since then I’ve taught countless subjects. I’ve worked with second graders and sophomores in college. The classroom may have changed since I was eighteen but that aim to educate another remains. I am currently an MFA in Creative Writing candidate at Rosemont College. The program has two primary focuses for its graduate students. One is for students to enhance their craft and make the most ... read more

My teaching style depends on your learning style, but basically I believe in individualized instruction, offering guidance and lots of real-world examples, teaching students skills that will help them become autonomous or self-reliant and confident. I attempt to accommodate my students as much as possible and answer all questions that they may have.

More About This Tutor...

When teaching or tutoring a student I have found that there are several factors in how it should be approached. The most important of the factors are the subject matter and the students learning style. The learning style of the student has to be considered when teaching. Helping a student learn requires finding the most effective method. You want to make sure they understand the subject matter while exposing them to other possible ways to approach difficult problems. You can provide tools not only for the problems they are having but preparing them to handle future difficulties. Teaching can be rewarding as you help the student help themselves by discovering their own strength and weakness as well as was to improve.
Over the twelve years I attended college I acquired six degrees while maintaining high academic standards. I received a Master’s of Science Degree in Forensic Scien ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I earned my BS in physics and spent over a year working on medical device research. As an undergraduate at the University of Pittsburgh I spent some time in the Physics Undergraduate Lab helping students in the introductory courses. I also spent time as a Team Leader for Mission Acceptance, a program that pairs successful college students with local high school students and provides mentoring in the college selection and admissions process. These experiences allowed me to learn my audience and assess their needs and also understand the mentality of high school students.
I loved working with the students in the Mission Acceptance program. I worked as a team leader, so I had the opportunity to work with a group of fellow mentors as well as students, which provided me experience with a variety of different students. I learned that each student has his or her own path to understanding ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I have graduated from Medical School in India after acing High School, was amongst top ten in state. As parents were teachers, I have interest in teaching since childhood. I helped students during my medical school in subjects like anatomy, microbiology, physiology, psychology and sciences. I have also improve my English proficiency by taking English and speech classes here in NJ. I have also helped students here in US with same subjects.
As per my view, every child has skills and weaknesses but in different areas. So we have to focus on the certain weak areas. Plus everyone prefers their own style to learn. So I prefer to teach with the student friendly way. All Children will definitely achieve their goals with proper direction and guidance with strong will and hard work.

I have always had a penchant for tutoring. Having a younger sister in high school, she has always looked to me for guidance in her sciences. I knew right away that I wanted to tutor in college. Few things are as gratifying and fulfilling as helping students overcome their academic challenges. I have a very distinct style when it comes to tutoring. I like to stress proper studying habits along with teaching the material. I not only want my tutee to learn the material, but to learn solid studying skills that will allow them to succeed in their future endeavors. I am very patient and fastidious in both my studies and while tutoring others. I have experience working with children of all ages and backgrounds.
Graduating from a private institution that specializes in the sciences, I have acquired a broad and thorough understanding of many disparate topics. Though my degree is in biology, ... read more

More About This Tutor...

I would describe my teaching style as one that consistently attempts to meet the student at his or her current level of need, with the aim of continuously moving him or her toward the goal of competency in the subject area, particularly as it relates to the critical thinking skills needed to accomplish the task. Practice makes perferct; but, without the adequate thought processes needed to accomplish the task, any amount of practice is undermined.
As a graduate student and as a professional researcher, I have the opportunity to teach as a graduate assistant and adjunct faculty. Over the years, as I have pursued my masters and doctorate level degrees, I have worked with students of all types to assist them in their writing skills in preparation for personal statements as well as for specific courses.

A Little Bit About Me...

I like to adapt my style to the student's personality and learning style. Some students learn best through visual methods, some auditory and some prefer experiential learning. While textbooks often provide a good foundation, I like to use "real world" teaching if possible. For example, I might have a student act out a situation (renting a car, for example) that he or she may encounter in real life. I am also very patient and this is a key factor for good tutoring.
I am passionate about learning and education. As a native of Princeton, NJ, I have tutored Princeton students in English for almost 20 years. I have also tutored in Spanish (in which I hold a BA) and French (I resided in France for 3 years). I have a wide variety of business skills, and hold a Master's degree in International Business. I have excellent communications and interpersonal skills and look forward to ... read more
